Kobo Libra Colour drops back to $229, sharpening its edge as a Kindle alternative

Kobo has trimmed the Libra Colour price back to $229.99 at Best Buy, Rakuten Kobo, and Target after a recent hike, positioning it as a strong Kindle alternative thanks to a seven-inch color display, waterproofing, physical page-turn buttons, 32GB storage, EPUB support, and a Stylus 2 for notes—all at a lower price than Amazon’s Kindle Colorsoft at $249.99.
